Securely Stitched
2023, 12in. x 14in. x 10in., Ceramic
These two sculptural vessels were created by adapting crochet technique to ceramic coil building. Building with the ceramic coils in rows how one would crochet a round garment, I crocheted unravelable sculptures. The ephemerality of crochet stitches and the ease with which they unravel have been replaced with a different fragility. The movements of the ceramic crocheted vessels have been frozen, and the looseness of the stitch’s appearance is juxtaposed by their true stability.
